East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion

[dubmuffin]

oh dear, temp on way up here and more worrying - the dewpoint has risen to a heady -1.5, wouldn't it be mad if it arrived as rain?

[remymartin]

well looking at the dutch radar London in direct hit to night our snow we are the last lot to get any !! is due on wednesday already our local weather is saying up 40 cms here in suffolk

[Derp Patrol]

I hope so! How much do you reckon we could expect (I am around Hampton Court near Kingston)

Truth is I really don't know, the picture will be clearer in an hour or so.. we could get 5cm.. or we could get 25cm.. just have to see what happens

[slater]

as normal east norfolk looks like getting nothing yet again so so annoying

i agree..getting fed up now..dont reckon hardly get any this week ahhhhhhh

[Leigh]

Thanks Kold. Fingers crossed then

[hobbielancie]

Trust me its on its way to you guys!

Norfolk just waits and hopes . . . . . .and hopes . .

[Tn9]

How about this instead? :(

Thats a stick bloke with no legs,whats going on?

[chionomaniac]

Yeh but the flow is coming up from a cold france , whereas those areas have the thames estuary in the way

I guess the warm Channel pales into insignificance compared to the Thames Estuary. Neil.

For all in the London area especially that are worried because they haven't had much, don't worry, just look here:

The current band of PPN is quite thin, but you can see that near the Brighton it is thickening to the east so as it moves north we will be in the firing line. I'd guess it will hit us by about 9pm in SW London

Looks like I may get some of that here too? However, is it weakening or steady as it moves inland?

[The Giant Daddy Jackpot]

Moderate to heavy snow now in Eastbourne (Pevensey side). Wooooooooohhhhh.

[Neilsouth]

Woaa!

AT this rate ALL of kent will see snow

http://www.meteogroup.co.uk/uk/home/weather/radar/united_kingdom.html

Didn't expect that

[Long haul to mild]

Tough call mate, we are probably on thr western edge of the heavier part of the first band BUT our temps will very much be marginal IMO...then second band tomorrow looks better for snowfall chances. As long as we stay right side of marginal I'd imagine 4-6cms probably is the call I'd make...but as per normal big uncertainties...

Looking ahead to Thurs / Fri's potential snowfall in EA/SE, do you think there will be any marginality issues on those days? Looks like there might be a better flow?

Thanks

[stewfox]

had bout 2 inches in 30 minutes, some huuuge flakes here

Im 28 and I felt like I did in 1987 and 1991

5th January 1987 I dont mention any snow in my diary (age then 22 )

[hobbielancie]

Neil, to be fair it was forecast. It was on the graphics even last night, a separate band moving north. I posted this morning about a squall like feature moving north this evening, into the Thames Estuary by midnight.

[dubmuffin]

no no no we don't want that

we certainly don't - it wouldn't be the first time - waited up til 1.30am in december just to see the snow turn to rain as it got here, although I am much more hopeful this time. It'll be Ok, really, it will

[slater]

Norfolk just waits and hopes . . . . . .and hopes . .
